dance in the hotel room” are not to be taken lightly. This louche,
legendary 20s establishment is an institution dripping with all the
glamour (and hedonism) its zipcode demands. Dig deep, dance hard
and drink excessively. Who said married couples were boring?

Still smelling the roses? Actually, in this case, it’s probably the perfumery. Follow the frangipani scent to your room (bypassing the rustic outside plunge pool and weathered stone exterior en route). At this sleepy Yucatán locale, swim and sleep and… are the only things on the agenda.

Get hot and (not) bothered in Amanyara. A peace-inducing haven, here experiences are tailor-made and no request is too niche. Divers will be particularly beguiled by this place, and the yogis among you too – with free morning practice offered daily.

“A villa of one’s own” has a nice ring to it. Make tracks to

1,000.

Dine at communal tables and roll with the free-seating system – so what if you’re separated for an hour. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

For the less conventional honeymooners, this boutique hotel
blends Texan tradition with a rowdier urban style. Stop by the bar

parlour – you can even try your hand at playing one of the
instruments on display (maybe compose a love song while you’re at
it).
